I recognize: <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="all" href="style_120704.css" /> and: <style type="text/css" media="all"> @import="style_120704.css"; </style> but have never seen: <style type="text/css" media="all" @import="style_120704.css";</style> The second type is very close to what you used, but I'm pretty sure that the @import was meant to be contained within the two style tags, not included in the "style" tags properties. It's really just missing the ">" right before the "@import" and is, as such, broken HTML. The best argument I remember from the dim past was that the @import method was not recognized by Netscape, which had truly awful CSS support, and therefore simply skipped. Using it ensured that your page would be at least readable by that browser and not completely destroyed by its attempt to apply your linked styles.
